OTTAWA http://www.officialcanucks.com/authentic-adidas-henrik-sedin-jersey , Ontario (AP) — There was a time when Chris Wideman wondered if he would ever score another NHL goal.Still coming in bunches, in fact.Wideman got his first two goals in nearly a year, Craig Anderson made 36 saves and the Ottawa Senators beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-1 on Saturday.Wideman tore a hamstring last November and missed the rest of the season. The 28-year-old had been without a point in his first four games this season.“The way I look at it now is every game is gravy,” Wideman said. “When I first got hurt, I thought I was done. We put in a lot of hard work with the staff, myself, and I got a lot of support from family and my girlfriend and guys here and buddies around the league so it’s just great to be back.“I was happy to get the first one for sure, and the second was icing on the cake, I guess.”Chris Tierney, Mark Stone and Colin White also scored for the Senators Jacob Markstrom Jersey , and Matt Duchene, Brady Tkachuk and Thomas Chabot each had two assists.Trevor Lewis scored for the Kings, who will wrap up their four-game trip Monday night in Toronto.Los Angeles’ Jack Campbell made his fourth consecutive start and allowed four goals on 11 shots before being replaced by Peter Budaj. Budaj allowed one goal on 11 shots.“I thought we got off to a good start the first couple of minutes and drew a couple penalties, but didn’t really generate much on the power play,” Kings coach John Stevens said. “Too many 1-on-1 battles being lost around their net that could amount to easy goals and then we had a big hole to dig out of there.”Tierney opened the scoring just over six minutes in by tipping Dylan DeMelo’s shot past Campbell. Wideman pushed in a rebound and Stone added a power-play goal later in the period for a 3-0 lead.“It was a bad start and they capitalized on some opportunities,” Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin said. “We put some pressure on them later, but it was too late.”White made it 4-0 in the second with a wrist shot that ended Campbell’s afternoon. Lewis got the Kings on the board late in the period before Wideman tacked on his second goal midway through the third during a delayed penalty call.“Everybody made their mark on the game,” Senators coach Guy Boucher said. “There were blocked shots, intelligent plays at the right moment, good plays without the puck. Our goaltender was solid so it was a real nice team victory.”NOTES: This was the Kings’ lone visit to Ottawa this season and marked the return of Dion Phaneuf Markus Granlund Jersey , who was traded to Los Angeles last February after spending parts of three seasons with the Senators. Phaneuf had 13 goals and 41 assists over 154 games with Ottawa. … With Cody Ceci on injury reserve, Ben Harpur made his regular-season debut and led all Ottawa defensemen in ice time. … The Senators were without Ceci (upper body), Ryan Dzingel (lower body) and Alex Formenton (concussion). Jonathan Quick (lower body), Dustin Brown (broken finger), Jonny Brodzinski (shoulder) and Gabriel Vilardi (back) were out for the Kings.UP NEXTKings: Play at Toronto on Monday night.Senators: Host Dallas on Monday night. DALLAS — The Anaheim Ducks and Dallas Stars know each other well from their days as Pacific Division bunkmates, but Saturday will mark their first meeting of the 2018-19 regular season.And first-year Stars coach Jim Montgomery knows precisely what to expect in his fourth game behind an NHL bench.“They’re a real good transition team offensively and defensively. They’re a little young right now due to some injuries, but those players are talented and they’re fast,” Montgomery said after practice on Friday.Article continues below ...Dallas (2-1-0, 4 points) started the season with back-to-back home victories over Arizona and Winnipeg, outscoring the Coyotes and Jets by a combined 8-1.However Michael Del Zotto Jersey , in Tuesday’s loss to Toronto, the Maple Leafs lit the lamp seven times in a 7-4 victory, leading Montgomery to start shuffling lines, except for his top line of Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin and Alexander Radulov. “I didn’t want to mess with our top line,” Montgomery said. “We thought about it, but they’re just playing too well right now and we’ll wait until they cool down before we probably make a move there.” But the rookie coach’s philosophy when it comes to shuffling lines is a simple one. “We’re looking to see people skate more and people play more aggressively. Have calculated risk to your game and you’ll get rewarded,” Montgomery said. After this game, Dallas will hit the road for its first trip of the season, playing at Ottawa on Monday and New Jersey on Tuesday Sam Gagner Jersey , giving the Stars three games in four nights.However, Montgomery admitted Friday he isn’t too concerned about next week, at least not yet. “I’m not worried about managing three in four. I’m worried about tomorrow (Saturday) night,” he said. The Ducks (3-0-1, 7 points) sit atop the Pacific standings, even after a 3-2 shootout loss to Arizona on Wednesday.And even though Anaheim didn’t get the full two points against the Coyotes, one big positive from that narrow defeat was the season debut of Ryan Kesler, who had been sidelined with a hip injury. Kesler even scored the Ducks’ first goal of the game. “Well, I thought he was fine,” Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said of Kesler postgame. “It’s a long time since he played Womens Devante Smith-Pelly Jersey , and he went through a rigorous rehab over the course of the summer months and into September and training camp. We know what kind of a warrior he is. He’s a committed guy and he does everything he possibly can to complement our entire group.”Anaheim is starting a quick two-game trip that takes the Ducks to Dallas on Saturday and then to St. Louis on Sunday to finish the back-to-back.Last season, the Ducks took two of the three meetings with the Stars, and Anaheim forward Adam Henrique knows exactly what to expect any time these former division rivals square off.“They play fast; they’re a highly-skilled offensive team,” Henrique said after practice Friday. “I think they play exciting hockey, so I think we have to go in there with the mindset of try to contain those guys.”

The San Jose Sharks are hoping for a better all-around performance when they hit the road for the first time this season to play the Los Angeles Kings at Staples Center on Friday night.The Sharks (0-1-0) lost 5-2 against the Anaheim Ducks in the season opener for both teams on Wednesday night in San Jose.Sharks goalie Martin Jones stopped just 10 of 14 shots before the Ducks scored a late empty-netter to seal the win. San Jose also went 0-for-3 on the power play Pittsburgh Penguins Hats Authentic , and gave up two power play goals on the other end.Article continues below ...“The power play’s about confidence and obviously we struggled in preseason and didn’t look sharp tonight,” San Jose coach Peter DeBoer told the San Jose Mercury News afterward. “We’ve got to get some practice time, we’ve got to spend a little time on video. but special teams and goaltending are huge parts of the game and we lost those two battles. When that happens, you’re probably not going to win a lot of games.”The Kings will open their season without right winger Dustin Brown, who finished second on the team in goals (28) and points (61) last season. Brown sustained a broken finger in the final preseason game Saturday against the Ducks and is out indefinitely.“It’s not good to lose one of your top guys Custom Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys ,” Los Angeles defenseman Drew Doughty told The Athletic. “Brownie is a guy that is very, very hard to replace. Both in the room and on the ice.”San Jose welcomed back one of its leaders on Wednesday night.Joe Thornton played his first game since Jan. 23. He underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee two days later and missed the rest of the regular season and playoffs.Thornton, 39, played 17:42 against the Ducks with one shot on goal and two penalty minutes.“That’s the best I’ve seen (Thornton) moving since training camp and exhibition,” DeBoer told reporters afterward. “I thought tonight he had some decent legs.”Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson will make his first appearance at Staples Center since Dec. 7 www.officialsharks.com , when he was still a member of the Ottawa Senators.Karlsson, one of the NHL’s top defensemen who led the league in assists with 66 in 2015-16, was traded to San Jose on Sept. 13 in a deal that sent two players, two prospects and San Jose’s 2020 first-round draft pick to Ottawa.Karlsson wasn’t much of a factor in his team debut on Wednesday. He had a team-high four takeaways, but was also the only player to finish at minus-2.“I think as the game went on San Jose Sharks T-Shirts Authentic , just like everybody else, it felt a little more comfortable,” Karlsson told the Mercury News. “A little bit shaky in the beginning, pucks were bouncing here and there and you’re overthinking stuff, but (as) the game went along San Jose Sharks Hoodies Authentic , I think not only me but everybody else started to feel a little bit more comfortable.” WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Capitals right winger Tom Wilson could face a suspension of six or more games for a blindside hit to the head of St. Louis Blues center Oskar Sundqvist during a preseason game on Sunday.The NHL’s Department of Player Safety announced in a tweet Sunday night that it has offered Wilson an in-person hearing for the infraction, which earned him a 10-minute penalty during the game. That means the league is considering a suspension of six-plus games.Blues coach Mike Yeo said Sundqvist is “not good” and called the hit “predatory.”“I’d be surprised if he didn’t miss a decent amount of time,” Yeo said of Sundqvist.The Capitals did not make Wilson available to reporters after the game.Wilson, who signed a six-year, $31 million contract in July to remain with Washington San Jose Sharks Hats Authentic , has a history of throwing dangerous checks. He was suspended for three games during the Stanley Cup playoffs for a check to the head of Pittsburgh Penguins center Zach Aston-Reese that broke his jaw and caused a concussion.

TORONTO — The Detroit Red Wings will return to the Scotiabank Arena Sunday night Florida Panthers T-Shirts Authentic , slightly more than two weeks after defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 there in overtime.The Maple Leafs scored three third-period goals to tie that game, Dec. 6., but the Red Wings came away with the two points on Dylan Larkin’s overtime goal.The Red Wings (15-17-5) have had little success since, going 2-5-1 including a 2-1 loss Saturday afternoon to the Florida Panthers at Little Caesars Arena.Article continues below ...The Maple Leafs (24-10-2) have gone 4-2-1 since that game, including a 5-3 victory over the New York Rangers on Saturday night with Mitch Marner scoring two goals and adding an assist.The game Sunday will be the third meeting this season between the teams. Toronto won 5-3 in Detroit Oct. 11.After winning against the Hurricanes at Carolina Thursday night, the Red Wings fell behind the Panthers early Saturday, and never really recovered. They were 0-for-4 on the power play, with two of the opportunities coming in the third period.“Another frustrating loss,” said Red Wings left winger Thomas Vanek, who scored his fifth of the season. “We need to score, I need to score more. It’s no secret about that. Sometimes it takes a little while for us to get going, and once we get going, we get those chances, but it takes 10 or 12 scoring chances to get something. We get two power plays in the third and got some good looks, but good looks aren’t good enough when you’re losing games.”“We had enough opportunities in the game Florida Panthers Hoodies Authentic , we have to score,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. “The power play, overall in the game, three of the four, were good. The third one was no good, the first of the third period. That was no good at all. But three of them were good, we had good looks and chances, but we didn’t score.”The Red Wings, already depleted by injuries, had more bad news before the game. Center Andreas Athanasiou (upper body), who was hurt in the victory over the Hurricanes at Carolina on Thursday was not able to play against Florida and is not expected to be ready to play Sunday.The Maple Leafs who were without left winger Zach Hyman, who has a sprained ankle, lost left winger Tyler Ennis during the game Saturday with a broken ankle.“So, he’s out for a while,” Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said. “We’ll figure out what we’re doing tonight. We’ve only got 11 forwards Florida Panthers Hats Authentic , so we’ll have to do something here.”Ennis had seven goals and four assists in 33 games.“He was coming on, right?” Babcock said. “His year didn’t go as good as he wanted last year, and he was starting to come so it’s unfortunate. As you guys know it’s all part of hockey. You’ve got to have a lot of depth to have success.”Marner has 12 goals and 38 assists this season with six of his goals coming in the past four games.“I think I’m just thinking more of shooting,” Marner said. “Getting to the net more and, when you get around that net, I think chances come more often so that’s just something I’ve been trying to focus on recently. I think also Hyman, John Tavares and now (Andreas Johnsson), all three of those guys can move the puck very well. For me, it’s just getting to the front of the net and try and bang in those second opportunities.” “Every night he’s one of our best players, if not the best player,” Babcock said. “He works really hard, he’s really good defensively, he does it right. In the end, if you do it right, you get rewarded. He’s getting rewarded.” BUFFALO Custom Florida Panthers Jerseys , N.Y. (AP) Kyle Okposo and the Eastern Conference’s last-place Buffalo Sabres head into the uncertainty of the NHL’s trade deadline sure of one thing.They were better than the retooled Bruins by beating them 4-1 to spoil forward Rick Nash’s Boston debut.What happens before the trade deadline hits Monday is anyone’s guess with the Sabres anticipated to make several deals, including one involving forward Evander Kane.”I’ve been through it before,” Okposo said. ”It’s obviously hard to see teammates go. That comes with not having the season that we want. So we just kind of have to sit back and wait and see, and be professional.”Okposo and Benoit Pouliot scored on consecutive shots in the first period in a game the Sabres never trailed. Evan Rodrigues and Marco Scandella also scored, and Chad Johnson stopped 34 shots for the Sabres, who snapped an 0-5-2 home skid against the Bruins. Buffalo had not defeated Boston at home since a 5-4 overtime win Feb. 26, 2014.The Bruins, coming off a 4-3 loss at Toronto a night earlier, started flat while closing a five-game road swing on a day that began with them acquiring Nash in a multiplayer trade with the New York Rangers. Boston gave up three players, including forward Ryan Spooner and prospect defenseman Ryan Lindgren, and two draft picks, including its first-round selection this year.Patrice Bergeron refused to use the road trip or the trade as reasons for the Bruins losing consecutive games for the first time since going 0-1-1 on Dec. 14-16.”There was only one new guy today,” Bergeron said. ”We should know the system. We should know where to be and it wasn’t there.”Anton Khudobin was not sharp in goal. He allowed four goals on 24 shots, including being beaten through the legs on Scandella’s goal from the right boards that put Buffalo up 4-1 in the opening minutes of the third period.The turning point came in the opening minutes of the second period after Boston’s Charlie McAvoy scored on a delayed penalty to cut Buffalo’s lead to 2-1.Some four minutes later, Buffalo’s Sam Reinhart outworked Riley Nash and Danton Heinen in forcing a turnover deep in the Bruins zone. Reinhart then fed Rodrigues www.officialkings.com , who scored on a one-timer from the right circle.”When you’re 2-1 and you’re making your push, it’s a bad time to make that mistake, especially at the tail end of a road trip,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said. ”I think we looked slow today.”Cassidy at least liked what he saw from Nash.”He did as advertised to me,” Cassidy said. ”He’ll be a welcome addition for us. I know he didn’t see the best Boston Bruins team.”The 33-year-old Nash was credited with 17:27 of ice time while playing on the Bruins’ second line, centered by David Krejci, and earning a spot on the top power-play unit. He finished with five shots, which didn’t include a hard snapshot from the right circle which he banked off the far post on a 3-on-2 rush midway through the second period.Nash said he felt fresh in playing his first game since the Rangers played Philadelphia on Feb. 18. He was a healthy scratch during New York’s previous two games because the Rangers didn’t want to risk the possibility of Nash being hurt before he was dealt.”I had my legs. It was my first game in a week so I was a bit nervous,” Nash said. ”It’s definitely been a couple of strange days not being able to play. But that’s behind us and I’m happy to be a Bruin.”The Bruins squandered an opportunity to jump into second place in the Atlantic Division standings, a point ahead of the idle Maple Leafs.NOTES: Kane sat for the second consecutive game to avoid the possibility of being hurt before he’s expected to be traded by Monday. … Bergeron played despite arriving at the arena wearing a protective boot on his right foot after he was hurt blocking a shot at Toronto on Saturday. … The Bruins also signed Brian Gionta to a one-year $700,000 contract after was the United States Olympic team captain at the Pyeongchang Winter Games.

COLUMBUS http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-josh-allen-jersey , Ohio (AP) — The Columbus Blue Jackets extended their win streak to four games and stayed in the thick of the battle at the top of the tough Metropolitan Division. The team’s productive top line is a big reason why.Pierre-Luc Dubois, Artemi Panarin and Cam Atkinson each had a goal and an assist on Tuesday night as the Blue Jackets beat the New Jersey Devils 4-1.All three have recorded points in the past four games, with Atkinson scoring in each of the past three. He’s got a team-leading 27 goals and will be on his way to the NHL All-Star Game at the end of the month.“When everybody contributes like that, it’s hard to beat us,” said Dubois, who has five points in the four-game stretch.Boone Jenner also scored and Joonas Korpisalo had 29 saves for the Blue Jackets, who have won 11 of the last 14 games while sparring with Washington and Pittsburgh atop the division.Korpisalo has started three of the last four games ahead of star Sergei Bobrovsky and won each time. The 24-year-old Finn could soon find himself the team’s No.1 goalie as Bobrovsky has refused to sign a contract extension with Columbus and may be traded before the deadline next month.“Korpi has earned the time, just through his play,” Columbus coach John Tortorella said. “Korpi deserved to play tonight.”Blake Coleman scored and Keith Kinkaid had 30 saves for the Devils, who saw a two-game winning streak end as they struggle to stay out of the Metro basement.“It’s beyond frustrating,” Devils veteran winger Brian Boyle said. “You try to get some traction going. We work extremely hard. It’s been months of not (getting) the results we wanted.”Coach Hynes said some players lacked effort on the second night of a back-to-back. New Jersey got a wild 8-5 win over Chicago on Monday night.“It was just some individuals who were not ready to go and compete at the level we need them to compete at,” Hynes said. “I wouldn’t necessarily say it was the whole team.”The Blue Jackets grabbed the lead early and didn’t let up.Atkinson tipped in a pass from Dubois 45 seconds into the game. Less than two minutes later, Josh Anderson, off a faceoff from the right circle Cheap Tre'Davious White Jersey , fed Jenner, who beat Kinkaid from the slot.Late in the first, David Savard grabbed a face off and slid a beautiful pass from the left corner to the doorstep, setting up Panarin for an easy tip-in and a 3-0 Columbus lead.Early in the second, Dubois snapped in a shot from the left circle for the Blue Jackets’ fourth power-play goal in four games.Coleman redirected a shot by Mirco Mueller late in the second period to ruin Korpisalo’s shutout.“I’m pretty comfortable,” Korpisalo said. “The way we play right now it’s pretty easy to play behind them. Like today, I don’t think there were any dangerous shots. They just clear the pucks in front of me, block shots and it makes me confident to play behind them.”NOTES: Columbus coach John Tortorella coached his 285th game with the team, passing Ken Hitchcock for the franchise record. He is the franchise’s leader in wins (156-102-26). … New Jersey F Miles Wood was out with an undisclosed injury suffered in the game Monday night. … Coleman has five goals and two assists in the last five games.UP NEXT:New Jersey: At New York Islanders on Thursday.Columbus: Hosts Montreal on Friday. DALLAS — When the Ottawa Senators visit the Dallas Stars Friday night one team will see its two-game losing streak end.Ottawa (9-10-3, 21 points) is 2-6-1 on the road after a 6-4 loss at Minnesota on Wednesday night. They followed up a 7-5 loss on Monday at home to the Florida Panthers falling behind early Wednesday in Minnesota.“Every loss, whether it’s this one or another one, you’re not happy about losing period,” Senators coach Guy Boucher said after his allowed six goals for the sixth time this season.Article continues below ...In Wednesday’s loss, Ottawa trailed 2-0 after one period and 4-1 at the second intermission. Despite mounting a nice comeback in the final 20 minutes Authentic Tre'Davious White Jersey , the same issues which have plagued the Senators all season continue to be a factor.“We had a major push and we tied the game, but what’s been hurting us is still hurting us,” Boucher said. “It’s the way we defend, just easy coverage in front of the net. We got to get better there. Our forwards have to tie up in front of the net when the puck’s behind the net and we got to get better at it.”Perhaps one positive is that the Senators have already defeated Dallas this season, 4-1 in Ottawa back on October 15.Dallas (11-9-2, 24 points) is also on a two-game losing streak after losing 5-1 at Pittsburgh on Wednesday two days after a 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers and three days after scoring four times in the second period of a 6-2 win over the New York Islanders.Injuries were a big factor for the Stars as eight players were sidelined, including five defensemen and starting goaltender Ben Bishop, expected to miss at least a week with a lower body injury after getting hurt on Monday.Despite the injuries, first-year Dallas coach Jim Montgomery wasn’t making excuses after a disappointing result. “We feel bad and embarrassed about the way we played tonight,” Montgomery said postgame.Montgomery opened his postgame media scrum by falling on the sword for his team’s four-goal loss, saying it was on him because the Stars weren’t adequately prepared to face the Penguins.The Stars, who are 7-3-1 on home ice, have scored two goals or fewer in seven of their last 11 contests.Montgomery has a pretty good idea why the offense is currently stuck in dry dock, and again blamed much of those offensive woes on the aforementioned lack of preparation.“We’re not skating. We’re not together http://www.billscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-tre_davious-white-jersey ,” Montgomery said. “Our puck support is not good enough. Our timing and spacing, a lot of negatives. I’m not preparing them well enough, so we’re not in sync.”Dallas players and coaches took Thanksgiving off before hosting the Senators on Friday, and Montgomery feels a day to flush this game out of their system is a big positive.“Yeah, tonight’s over with,” Montgomery said Wednesday. ?We just start preparing for Ottawa now, enjoy Thanksgiving at home with family and get back to work on Friday. This is over with.”One positive to come from the loss was the NHL debut of goaltender Landon Bow, who relieved starter Anton Khudobin, who allowed five goals on 16 shots, midway through the middle frame.Bow stopped all 14 shots he faced.But in the end, Stars captain Jamie Benn summed up the loss best.“Pretty embarrassing tonight,” Benn said. “We let our goalie down.”Dallas is 0-3-2 in the last five meetings with Ottawa.

MONTREAL (AP) — With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on a 2-on-0 breakaway in overtime Artemi Panarin Jersey , it looked as if the Edmonton Oilers would snap their four-game losing skid.But Draisaitl’s bobbling pass hit McDavid’s skate and the opportunity was lost.On the very next shift, Jonathan Drouin went end-to-end and scored to give the Montreal Canadiens a 4-3 victory Sunday.“We just didn’t connect clean,” McDavid said. “It was a little too far in front of me. I couldn’t get to it. They had a chance, we had a couple chances, and the last goal wins, obviously, and they were able to find it.”Just 30 seconds into the extra frame, Draisaitl carried the puck across the blue line Shane Doan Jersey , with McDavid to his right. Draisaitl slowed down just enough to be caught by Jeff Petry, who got his stick on the pass to McDavid.Carey Price then stopped a weak shot by McDavid, a slap shot by defenseman Darnell Nurse and a wrister by Draisaitl.“I was a little worried, obviously,” Canadiens winger Brendan Gallagher said. “It was nice when you saw McDavid slow down and Draisaitl try to compose the puck. Not exactly what you want to give up but we found a way. Price made a save, calmed things down, and Drouin went the other way to win the game.”After the Canadiens won the ensuing faceoff, Drouin took the puck from behind his own net www.floridapanthersteamshops.com , gave a burst of speed in the neutral zone, cut back around defenseman Kris Russell before beating Mikko Koskinen 58 seconds into overtime.“We had a little bit of luck on that,” Canadiens coach Claude Julien said. “There’s no doubt about it. But a lot of times that’s what you need to win hockey games. Luck was on our side this afternoon.”Jesperi Kotkaniemi pulled Montreal even with 6:25 left in regulation, roofing the puck over Koskinen from a tight angle after Max Domi battled for the puck behind the net.Domi and Shea Weber also scored for the Canadiens, and Price made 21 saves for his fifth straight victory.Draisaitl scored twice for Edmonton, McDavid added a goal and Koskinen stopped 23 shots.NOTES: The teams completed back-to-back sets of matinee matchups.

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — The Ottawa Senators were ready for their 4-on-3 power play in overtime against the Pittsburgh Penguins.Ryan Dzingel scored with the man advantage at 1:20 of overtime after the Penguins were called for too many men on the ice in Ottawa’s 2-1 victory Saturday night.Senators coach Guy Boucher said they simulated the situation in practice earlier in the day.“I had a weird feeling this morning Florida Panthers T-Shirts Womens ,” Boucher said. “We were supposed to practice 5-on-4 and I don’t know, we practiced 5-on-3 and 4-on-3, and the boys executed perfectly, so it was good.

The Senators also revealed that Bobby Ryan would be sidelined indefinitely because of a concussion.“It’s opportunity for other guys,” Anderson said. “You can’t worry about what you don’t have.

Stone fed Chabot at the point and fired a shot through traffic to beat DeSmith.Dea tied it at 3:27 of the second.“I thought we dominated a lot of the game,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. “We couldn’t find a way to score more goals, but there was a lot to like about our effort.

NEW YORK (AP) Although they will likely miss the playoffs for the first time since 2010 Adidas Jonathan Bernier Jersey , the New York Rangers are still scrapping for wins.Mika Zibanejad scored the tying goal late in the third period and then got the winner 2:53 into overtime to rally the Rangers to a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night.On the winner, Zibanejad took a nice pass from Kreider and snuck a wrist shot past Penguins goalie Casey DeSmith for his career-best 22nd goal and 100th of his career.

Neal Pionk had three assists and Alexandar Georgiev, making his second consecutive start, finished with 37 saves.”It’s a group of professional athletes,” Kreider said of the Rangers’ attitude after trading off several key pieces at the trade deadline. ”Guys aren’t going to quit.”Bryan Rust, Riley Sheahan and Carl Hagelin scored for the Penguins Adidas Paul Thompson Jersey , who lost for just the fifth time in their last 15 games (10-4-1).

We paid for it.”Evgeni Malkin had a chance to win the game in the final 11 seconds when the referees awarded the Penguins a penalty shot because Georgiev knocked the net off the moorings with under two minutes remaining but the rookie goalie stopped Malkin with his right pad to force overtime.”There was certainly a lot going around in that last period,” Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. ”Momentum is a funny thing sometimes. . Take the two points and go from there.”The Rangers are 2-0-1 in their last three games, and 5-2-2 in their last nine. New York is seven points out of the last postseason spot in the Eastern Conference with 11 games remaining.The Rangers erased two deficits in the third period with three goals to earn a point. Kreider got a power-play goal at 8:42 of the third, before Fast tied it 2-2 with less than seven minutes remaining.”Guys made a concerted effort to get pucks in deep and make their defense turn,” Kreider said. I think when we were able to start doing that as a team we were able to tilt the ice a little bit.”However, Pittsburgh regained the lead when Hagelin finished a wraparound with 4:19 to go.Rust opened the scoring with his 11th of the season at 1:53 of the second period when his wrist shot sailed past the Georgiev’s glove to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead. Rust Adidas Troy Brouwer Jersey , 25, returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games with a concussion. Former Blueshirt Derick Brassard assisted on the play.Just 55 seconds later, Sheahan made it 2-0 with his 10th as he crashed the net and redirected Kris Letang’s shot.

MONTREAL (AP) — Canadiens coach Claude Julien said it looked like Tomas Plekanec “drank from the fountain of youth” before playing in his 1,000th game Monday night.Plekanec scored in his milestone game, and Jonathan Drouin added two goals to lead Montreal to a 7-3 victory over the winless Detroit Red Wings.Julien was also behind the bench for Plekanec’s very first NHL game in 2003.“He was really skating well Adidas Michael Hutchinson Jersey , he had lots of energy,” said Julien, who also coached Plekanec in his first NHL game in 2003. “You could see he was excited to play his 1,000th game and he wanted it to be a good memory for him. … I was fortunate to coach him in his first year and I’m fortunate enough to still be around him for his 1,000th game. It’s a privilege.”Tomas Tatar, Brendan Gallagher, Charles Hudon and Paul Byron also scored for the Canadiens. With Carey Price still out with the flu, backup goalie Antti Niemi stopped 25 shots for his second consecutive victory.The 35-year-old Plekanec became the 324th player in NHL history, and the 13th active NHLer Adidas Mike Hoffman Jersey , to reach the 1,000-game plateau. The Czech native is the 12th Canadiens player to reach that milestone, joining an elite group that includes Jean Beliveau, Henri Richard and Larry Robinson.The crowd showed their appreciation with a standing ovation in the first period.“It was special,” Plekanec said of the ovation. “I’ve been here for so long and I know the crowd is unbelievable here and I love to play here at the Bell Centre and they showed it again tonight.“It was awesome of course. It feels great. I would never dream of something like that when I started here. It was a hell of a ride.”Plekanec became only the fourth Canadiens player to score in his 1,000th game.Andreas Athanasiou had two goals and Thomas Vanek also scored for the rebuilding Wings, who are winless through six games (0-4-2) for their worst start in franchise history.

Enough is enough. We’re not even giving ourselves a chance right now.”After Drouin opened the scoring for Montreal on a penalty shot at 7:13 of the first, Plekanec made it 2-0 by shooting a puck on goal that Filip Hronek deflected past his own goalie at 16:56.It was Plekanec’s 233rd NHL goal, all with the Canadiens.“We won this game for him,” Canadiens forward Max Domi said. “We have so much respect for Pleky as a player and as a person. We’re all so happy for him. He deserves every bit of credit he gets. It’s cool to be a part of. Hopefully he plays 1,000 more.”Gallagher got his third of the season at 3:52 of the second on a nice pass from Tatar.

The Minnesota Wild placed forward Tyler Ennis on unconditional waivers to buy out his contract and free up salary-cap space on the eve of free agency.A person with direct knowledge of the move told The Associated Press on Saturday that Ennis and newly acquired Montreal Canadiens goaltender Steve Mason were put on buyout waivers at noon.

The 28-year-old Evgenii Dadonov Jersey Kids , who was due to make $3.65 million and count $4.6 million on the salary cap, had 22 points in 73 games with the Wild after being acquired from Buffalo a year ago.Ennis has 258 points in 492 games and could be a value free agent addition for a team looking for depth down the middle.Mason was not long for Montreal after the Canadiens acquired the 30-year-old goaltender in a trade with the Winnipeg Jets earlier Saturday. The Canadiens used their abundance of salary-cap space to take on Mason’s contract and acquire young Finnish forward Joel Armia.Montreal will have a cap hit of just under $1.4 million over the next two seasons for Mason, who becomes an unrestricted free agent. He will be an option for teams looking for a backup goaltender or someone to share the load, like Boston and Carolina.—AP Hockey Writer John Wawrow contributed to this report.— TORONTO — Auston Matthews said he is ready to return to the Toronto Maple Leafs lineup.The question is whether the team’s medical staff will clear him in time for the game against the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night at Scotiabank Arena or wait until Saturday when the Maple Leafs visit the Minnesota Wild.The Maple Leafs did not play Tuesday while the Sharks were in Buffalo, where they lost 3-2 in overtime to the surging Sabres, who won their 10th straight.Article continues below ...It was the second straight loss for the Sharks http://www.officialhockeypanthersshop.com/authentic-adidas-james-reimer-jersey , who dropped a 6-0 decision on the road to the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday.Joe Pavelski scored twice in the final nine minutes for the Sharks on Tuesday and leads the team with 15 goals.As for the Maple Leafs, Matthews has missed 14 games since Oct. 27 after he injured his shoulder in a collision with Winnipeg Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba.“In my mind, I feel ready to play (Wednesday),” Matthews said Tuesday after his first practice with contact. “The guys took it easy on me for the most part, but just in those battle drills and competing and stuff, everything felt good.”Maple Leafs coach Mike Babcock said final clearance for Matthews would not come until it is discussed with athletic therapist Paul Ayotte.The 21-year-old center has 10 goals and six assists in 11 games this season.“He looked fine out there (Tuesday) so we’ll see how he is Youth Jamie McGinn Jersey ,” Babcock said.The Maple Leafs (17-8-0)are 9-5-0 this season without Matthews, including a 4-2 victory over the Boston Bruins Monday night. The Maple Leafs have won five straight home games.“It’s never about one player, it’s about the team,” Babcock said. “We have a good leadership and the guys have worked hard most nights. We’ve had a tough schedule.”Mitch Marner has been playing particularly well. He had three assists against the Bruins on Monday and has six goals and 27 assists in 25 games.At times, it has looked as though Marner is playing a different game than the other players at times.“I think that’s what you think with all good players, is it not?” Babcock said. “I think Womens Jared McCann Jersey , if you’re watching (Boston), I think you think when (David Pastrnak) gets the puck and he’s playing a different game than everybody else too.“What’s amazing is most of us have no time and space whatsoever. We’re banging it here and banging it there and chasing it. Then the really good guys seem to have all the time in the world and that’s what you’re talking about. That’s why they’re just gliding all over the rink and it’s seems effortless and it seems like fun and they have the puck all the time and you can’t figure out why. They’re just better than everybody else.”The Sharks (12-8-5) are 4-5-3 on the road. They are considered somewhat of a disappointment so far this season.“We’ll find it,” said backup goaltender Aaron Dell, who could get the start Wednesday after Martin Jones got the call Tuesday. “It’s coming more and more. We were a little too offensive-minded to start and then we went polar opposite for a while and tried to play too much defense. Now, we’re going back and forth trying to find that middle. A little more time and we should be able to get that perfected and we’ll be a tough team to beat.”The Maple Leafs beat the Sharks 5-3 in San Jose on Nov. 15.“I get the frustration,” Sharks defenseman Joakim Ryan told the San Jose Mercury News. “It’s natural for a fan base. Everyone in here grew up being a fan and you’re (upset) when the team loses. That’s what you should expect. It’s completely understandable. It’s frustrating when you’re not consistent. We could be doing a lot better. But considering how it’s gone Jonathan Huberdeau Jersey , we’re still in a good spot.”“We still have a lot of the same core guys, but some of the new guys that have come in are pretty important pieces,” San Jose defenseman Brenden Dillon said. “We know we’re a good team and we know we’re going to be a great team.”

Images of Hines Ward http://www.steelerscheapauthenticstore.com/alejandro-villanueva-jersey-cheap , Ed Reed, Ray Lewis and Jerome Bettis all come to mind, and although those names are no longer on the rosters, it doesn’t lessen this AFC North rivalry.Regardless of record, or perception, these two teams always play each other down to the wire, normally withing 4 points of one another. When it comes to the winner, you might as well flip a coin, but with the Steelers getting the best of the Ravens the past three games you better believe Baltimore is ready to change this trend on Sunday Night Football when they visit Heinz Field.We all can prognosticate the winner of this divisional game, but this is where we take a look at who the experts like to win the game this Sunday night. After checking the main sites, the results are all across the board.If you are looking for a very pro-Steelers expert panel, ESPN is your place to be. Of their 10 person panel, only one, Theo Riddick, thinks the Ravens will go into Pittsburgh and leave victorious. While not as dominating as ESPN Cheap Chukwuma Okorafor Jersey , the experts at CBS Sports are very divided on the outcome of this contest. Of their 8 experts who make weekly picks, 5 see the Steelers winning and advancing their record to 2-1-1 heading into Week 5.But Steelers fans shouldn’t get too excited. The haters here at SB Nation are always around to pick against Pittsburgh. Of the 7 experts, 4 believe the Ravens are the better team and will walk away with the ‘W’, keeping Pittsburgh win-less at home.However, when it comes down to it the fact is there are a ton of websites who produce weekly expert picks, and to get a feel for who they are taking in this matchup we turn to our friends at NFL Pick Watch. NFL Pick Watch is a website which collects all the expert picks across the web, and puts them into a convenient chart for fans to read. According to their data, a whopping 80 percent of experts are picking the Steelers to win this game.So, who do you think will win the game? The experts are leaning towards the Steelers, but what say you? Let us know in the comment section below! Sometimes in life you can look back and view certain situations and circumstances, which at the time were horrible, but turned out to be a blessing in disguise.This absolutely could be the case for Pittsburgh Steelers return man/slot receiver Ryan Switzer.Let’s just go over Switzer’s time in the NFL since being drafted in the 2017 NFL Draft:Selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 4th round out of UNCAfter his rookie year, was traded to the Oakland RaidersPrior to the start of the 2018 regular season, was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers.Switzer has become a key piece to the Steelers’ puzzle as they prepare for the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11, hoping to extend their winning streak to 6 games Youth Sean Davis Jersey , but you have to wonder if Switzer doesn’t stop and think, “what if?” from time to time.What if the Cowboys didn’t trade him away? He would be a part of a 4-5 Dallas team struggling to stay afloat in the very mediocre NFC East.What if the Raiders hadn’t traded him to Pittsburgh? He would be a member of a 1-8 Oakland team who seems to be tanking their season in hopes of having a higher draft pick(s) in the 2019 NFL Draft.Instead, he is looking at a promising season with the black-and-gold, and he couldn’t be happier. See what he said about the transactions in response to a fan on his verified Twitter page:...and this tweet in response to former Steelers safety Ryan Clark:Switzer is a local product, hailing from Charleston, WV, and him playing for the Steelers and at Heinz Field, the same field he participated in the Pass, Punt and Kick competition as a youth, is special.Some say things happen for a reason, and while Switzer’s tenure in the National Football League has been passing through cities regularly, the hope is he found a home in Pittsburgh — a place to thrive.
